Tesla's design chief says Roadster's reveal is coming 'very soon'
Franz von Holzhausen gave Jay Leno an update on the long-awaited, two-door Roadster's revival.
Tesla's chief car designer, Franz von Holzhausen, has confirmed that the company's much-awaited Roadster model is set to launch "very soon." In a recent interview on Jay Leno's Garage, von Holzhausen expressed his excitement about the highly anticipated two-seater electric sports car. The Roadster, Tesla's first vehicle, was unveiled by founder Elon Musk in 2017, but has since experienced delays as the company shifted its focus to AI, robotics, and higher-volume production.
Despite these setbacks, von Holzhausen expressed his eagerness for the Roadster to make its debut before the 10-year anniversary of Tesla's founding. The car, initially promised to launch in 2020, has missed multiple launch dates due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Tesla's changing priorities. However, Tesla has recently ramped up design development on the project and applied for trademark applications for insignia designs.
